All withdrawn  Mercs parked outside the garage have gone.

Notices have posted in shelter of stop outside museum of Transport stating routes 16/A to Hospital and 21 to Wood End are departing from 13 stop in front.

Had a Gemini on the 23 earlier, which was late going towards the city centre.  Not sure they are entirely suited to the route due to the Winsford Avenue Hill, does anybody know if this is causing a problem? -I only ask since I've always been under the perception that Gemini's are more sluggish than Tridents.

Also, I didn't manage to get a photo but a driver on the 18A had the blind set as "A18" I'm sure this one wouldn't cause any confusion, unlike the "18A Tile Hill South Via Hearsall Common" that I see from time to time- which grinds my gears on grounds of ambiguity.

1548 looking good  and still in service today through Earlsdon, I was certain we would lose this bus by September 1st.

I  understand from the traffic office that 1591 had a minor bump on Friday - has anyone seen it back out yet or is it curtains!

1553 is apparently withdrawn

Thank you for the update on 1591.

Yep, showing my age because I have to think twice before calling it a destination blind!

4993 has just been replaced by 4223 on the 13. Driver was having issues with the doors or platform of 4993 it seemed.

The new timetable for the 11/12 has been posted on the NXC website with service cut back to Leamington town centre. Clock face daytime departures and timings in peak short workings basically unchanged.
